    We had such a lovely time at the retreat. We had a large party of people and expected the house to be big and it far bigger than we expected. The venue was incredibly well kept and clean, not to mention how beautiful the place really is. We had...

    The house was very spacious. Great for a family or group get together. The children loved the space and the board games when the weather was wet. Gorgeous location. Robin was very kind and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Come and stay in a spacious barn with all modern conveniences. A perfect place to share with family and friends where you can enjoy a luxurious private house. The many delights of the Northern Lake District (Ullswater, Borrowdale and Keswick) are a short drive away making this a great place to start your adventures. Or just relax and enjoy the rural location, you might be lucky enough to see our resident red squirrels. Come use the outdoor pizza oven and BBQ. Book a chef or masseur on site.
I love living in Cumbria with the Lake District on my doorstep. I make the most of the many outdoor opportunities in the area as well as enjoying the entertainment and cultural facilities, such as Rheged and the Theatre by the Lake. I am happy to help advise guests on local activites and services. We live nearby and are available to help with any guidance about places to visit and things to do.
Greystoke Gill is a quiet hamlet with the River Petteril running through and the home of the Beckstones Art Gallery. The village of Greystoke is one mile away and can be visited by footpath across the fields or by road. Greystoke has a pub, The Boot and Shoe, which offers great pub food at lunchtimes and in the evenings. There is a Post Office and shop open every day except Sunday, Quirky Workshops are based here and run various craft workshops. There is a public football field and playground. In summer the open-air swimming pool is open, weather permitting. There is a large church which holds Sunday services and occasional events.There are local walks, and short drive to the larger hills of the lake district.
